Wonder if you have thought up an "original" boat name?

Not if it's one of these.

Each year BoatUS creates vinyl transome lettering for boats and
publishes a list of the 10 most popular (but least original) names
from the previous year.

BOATU.S. ANNUAL LIST OF TOP TEN BOAT NAMES

BoatU.S., the nation's largest recreational boat owners association,
announced today its "2006 Top Ten List of Most Popular Boat Names".
Housing slumps, high gas prices, stock market surges, and spinach
scares made national headlines during the year, but that didn't faze
recreational boaters in selecting feel-good names for their vessels.
Their number one choice was Aquaholic, illustrating boater's chronic
love for the waterways. The name has appeared on the Top Ten List for
five consecutive years - and it's also the second time it's taken the
number one slot.

Number five on this year's list, Happy Hours, has appeared on the list
seven times since 1991, when the BoatU.S. Graphics and Lettering
department, which makes custom boat graphics and has a database of
7,400 monikers, first started tracking boat names. All of the
remaining top five, Second Wind (#2), Reel Time (#3), and Hakuna
Matata (#4, which means "no worries, troubles, problems or cares" in
Swahili) have appeared on the annual list at least once, as well as
#10, Pura Vida (which means "pure life").

Notable newcomers that made the list for the first time include Knot
Working (#6), Life is Good (#7), Plan B (#8), and Second Chance (#9).
"It's interesting to see how boaters creatively express their passion
for the boating lifestyle through the name of their boat," said
BoatU.S. President Nancy Michelman, "And these newcomers are perfect
examples," she added.

The "2006 Top Ten List of Most Popular Boat Names" is as follows:

1.) Aquaholic
2.) Second Wind
3.) Reel Time
4.) Hakuna Matata
5.) Happy Hours
6.) Knot Working
7.) Life is Good
8.) Plan B
9.) Second Chance
10.) Pura Vida

boats! I sure as hell was!

These have to be the saddest names for boats I've ever seen.

The sickest.......on the Vermilion River............."Cum Aboard" with sperm
graphics surrounding it. Sick.

Nope...it would have to be..."Feminine Spray II " The saddest I've
ever seen.

Whoa. Hadn't given much thought to boat names - don't see any here in
the basement. But when I get my boat, I'll be careful.

Reminds me of the last time the Ranger and Tonto were a team, and was
the Ranger's last battle.
They were surrounded by Apaches, the dark mask of night had fallen
over them, and they were out of ammo.
The Ranger said to Tonto, "My friend, it's been a pleasure fighting
with you at my side. We will soon pass into the great beyond."
Tonto replied, "What do you mean "we," white man? Tonto then slipped
away, into the night.
